We have classes for every level. Whether you’ve never played an instrument before or you’re already active in the scene, we have a drum class for you. Just about anyone can learn to play the djembe. The learning curve is somewhat different to other instruments – it’s easy to pick up but difficult to master! all of our students receive a student card which provides discount rates on a range of our products.

You can find more about our benefits for our students here.

If you’ve always wanted to drum then come to one of our welcoming classes.

FAQs

How do I pronounce the word djembe?
Jem-bay ?

What can I expect at my first class?
A friendly teacher, your drum for the class, and a rhythm or two waiting to be mastered.

Do I need any previous experience or a musical background?
No! The djembe is very easy to learn with a learning curve that favours beginners.

How are your drum classes structured?
Our djembe classes run in 6 week cycles and it’s best to start in the first or second week. After 6 weeks you’ll be a part of your classes ensemble with the chance to perform at Tribalism, our student performance night.

What support does the AD School of Djembe offer to students?
So glad you asked; check out our Student Resources section.

Do I need to bring a drum along?
Only if you want to! Djembes are provided as part of the class.

What do I bring?
Just a smile. We’d recommend bringing your phone or a recording device to record what you need to learn at the end of the class. Share your footage on facebook to help out the rest of your class!

Can I play bongos/congas/a different drum?
Our classes are for djembes; sorry, other drums aren’t suitable.
